FINDING THE TREASURES OF EARTH

The journey of creating unique works of art starts by sourcing extraordinary diamonds and gemstones. To secure the ethical and environmentally responsible sources of diamonds, Mouawad operates as an authorized De Beers DTC Sightholder. This exclusive privilege bestows Mouawad a direct and unique access to conflict-free rough diamonds.

The assurance of authenticity and integrity goes beyond the usual ethical standards to promise protecting the lasting value of diamonds, benefitting the mining communities, and enriching the diamond industry through expertise, quality, reliability, tradition, and heritage.

ARTISTIC STATEMENTS IN THE MAKING

One of Mouawad’s core competencies is the intersection of its heritage in craftsmanship and its diamond manufacturing capabilities. To ensure that all diamonds are thoroughly cared for at every step of manufacturing, Mouawad has established its own Diamond Cutting Factory.

The facility manages the complexities of the diamond trade through a highly skilled team of specialists and sophisticated technology that elevates cutting and polishing processes to an unmatched level of precision. Mouawad guarantees the diamond’s journey is availed with dedication, passion, and expertise, bringing only the finest specimens of this odyssey to the forefront.

Sorting and Selection – Once the rough diamonds are liberated from their host rock (kimberlite), Mouawad diamond sorters assess each diamond according to their main natural characteristics, size, shape, and color. Given the great skill and years of experience employed at this process, sorters only choose the diamonds that have all the virtues of being set in a creation of a Mouawad caliber.

Cutting and Polishing – In the hands of Mouawad's experts, rough diamonds begin the final step in their journey to realize the sparkling brilliance, fire, and light that lie within. The ideal Hearts and Arrows in Mouawad’s gorgeous diamonds are the result of the superlative experience of the brand’s master cutters and brillianteers.

CERTIFIED BY THE WORLD’S FOREMOST AUTHORITY

The Mouawad family’s association with the gem and jewelry industry goes beyond creating fine jewelry to supporting the industry as a whole. This support has been demonstrated through diverse initiatives, and was formally recognized by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA).

In 1997, the GIA moved to a new state-of-art facility in Carlsbad, California. Prior to its opening, the Mouawad brothers Fred, Alain, and Pascal, made a donation, in the name of their father, to fund the new world headquarters as a contribution to advance gemology research and education worldwide. As a result, the campus was named in honor of Robert Mouawad, representing a crowning moment in the family’s career.

To this day, all Mouawad diamonds are GIA certified. By providing a professional, independent evaluation and giving added confidence to the client, this certification (grading report) is considered a hallmark of integrity throughout the diamond world.

Around the world, Mouawad designs are known for expressing the aesthetic embellishment and unparalleled savoir-faire sought by exceptional clientele. The creative design team at Mouawad develops original unique styles around inspired themes of universal beauty, while bearing in mind that each design should adhere to the principles of innovation, harmony, simplicity, elegance, balance, timelessness, emotion, and universality.
